What’s new at Glosford SIPS

Post navigation

Sip Panels were supplied and installed on this Bristol Home complete with internal partitions and floors working closely with our Oak Frame partners Carpenter Oak. Glosford complete around 6 – 10 projects a year with Oak Framers offering a joint package of traditional internal Oak frame coupled with an energy efficient Kingspan TEK SIP envelope. Both companies offsite construction to ensure a smooth interface with differing materials which can all be completed in around 3 weeks for an average 4-5 bed home.

Glosford have been shortlisted for the upcoming Structural Timber Awards:

We needed to provide large teaching spaces within a quick construction period that would leave no footprint on the land if it was returned to grazing land in the future. The Kingspan TEK Building System was an obvious choice as it is low maintenance and lightweight.The ethos was to create an energy efficient building designed to meet Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) compliance, which Glosford was specified for as it provided a well-insulated structure.

Huge Glulam beams forming part of the Churches roof have been installed using flitch plate connections all designed and manufactured at our works here in Hereford. All connection plates were pre-fitted at our factory to simplify the installation on site.
